Hals H-D used to sell them for the race XB's I think? |

I don't know if Hals would still have some unless they stocked a bunch back in the day. There are a few advertising in Roadracing World (print) You'd need primary dimensions to give them. |

Probably a dumb question, but what is the advantage of ceramics (over a normal high quality bearing) on a race bike or street bike? |

less friction=higher top end speed |

Pricey, what is your goal. Figure 10x cost of normal for what advantage. If you were searching for that last mph at the saltflats to get your record---maybe. |
